The New York Jets have released WR Laveranues Coles, reports ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini. The move might just be procedural, though, because if Coles was on the roster for opening day, his 2010 salary would be guaranteed. If the Jets re-sign him in Week 2, his $855,000 salary wouldn't be guaranteed. Coles is expected to retire if the Jets don't re-sign him.

New York Jets WR Laveranues Coles said he understands that he may be released after four regular season games since WR Santonio Holmes would be eligible to return from his suspension, reports Rich Cimini, of ESPNNewYork.com.
